NOTES: Bender 'n' Stein is considered a 'test movie' in exploring the production technique of 'Machinima'. Machinima is the use of a 3D game engine, such as, Quake, Half Life or Unreal Tournament, to produce real time cinematics. These cinematics are captured as the scenes are performed, scripted or choreographed while in the game itself.

Once the individual scenes were captured, according to the script and storyboard, I pulled them into Adobe Premiere for editing and NewTek Aura for 'lip syncing'. I believe the technique of Machinima will eventually not need these extra steps for production.
